I have hooked them up to the brake light switch, a pressure switch in the brake line or the trans brake switch. All depends on what you want to accomplish.
Many a Ford has caught fire when a brake pressure switch started leaking. Seen it happen to a friends F150 after it had been parked for 3 hours. Lucky for him I was having a smoke and saw the start of it, I grabbed a fire extinguisher and put it out. He left his doors unlocked.
I would forgo a two step rev limiter before I used a brake pressure switch, especially since you already have a switch on the pedal.
